SCOTLAND UNDER-20S head coach Kenny Murray is hoping that the exposure that three-quarters of his squad have had to Super6 rugby during the last three months will stand them in good stead as the age-grade side attempt to bounce back from their recent Six Nations whitewash.
Murray named nine potential debutants in a 32-strong squad yesterday to compete in a ‘Summer Series’ tournament in Italy over the next four weeks, including two players – Boroughmuir back-row Liam McConnell and Gala winger/centre Kerr Johnston – who played for Scotland Under-18s in their Six Nations Festival campaign as recently as April.
